I'm new here, and this is my first post! We'll be at Disney in Sept. for our first family trip!

I made ADRs for a party of 5 at Crystal Palace for the character breakfast and at Planet Hollywood for dinner. My mom may or may not be joining us at Disney (she lives in Sarasota, FL), so I made the reservations assuming she'll be with us (otherwise, we're a party of 4).

My mom probably won't decide until Sept. if she's going or not. If she doesn't join us, and I don't change the reservation to a "party of 4," can we still show up and be seated. Or will that cause a huge problem? If she decides not to go, I'd hate to lose our time slots for breakfast and dinner, because we'll go from 5 to 4.

I guess what I'm asking is: What's the proper protocol for ADRs when not all the people will show up? Can we still keep the ADR or do we need to change it?

Thanks!
 
Welcome to the DIS! It shouldn't be a problem at all! Think about it...how many people leave a teenager in the hotel room because they came down with an illness during the vacation? I know we have. We have shown up at a restaurants podium several times to check-in, and informed the hostess that one of our family members was not able to make it. It has never been a problem.
 
I was wondering kind of the same thing. Dh and ds have decided to do their own thing one day so our ressie for four at Spoodles will only be two.
I am going to call and try to change it tomorrow as in our case that could open up a ressie for two others... but I am still curious how it works:)
 

DCuz wasn't feeling well, so didn't come with us to CG, and there was no problem at all seating 4 when the ADR was for 5.
